Riff: Converge – “Coral Blue”

Nov 16, 2012

Swam out to see what karma would bring/It’s jaws crashed down on drowning bodies around me

from Coral Blue lyrics by Converge

Vocalist Jacob Bannon’s ocean metaphor not only has the power to expose faults in others, but it also acts as a karmic shark attacking its prey. While the music fits this “coral blue” ocean, it doesn’t quite stack up to other judgement-themed Converge slow jams, like “Worms Will Feed.”
